Our California Wildflower seed blend is custom designed for the coastal areas and central valley of California (see distribution map). We thoughtfully selected wildflowers that are appropriate to this area and that provide a variety of bold and delicate blossoms; with both early and late blooming wildflowers for color through the growing season.

This blend has been designed with an emphasis on native wildflowers and with special attention to balanced percentages of annuals and perennials. Additionally, this mix is designed to be adaptable to a wide range of conditions within the geographic region shown on the distribution map.

This blend will make a great addition to any area of your landscape that you want to enhance the color with wildflowers that are not commonly found in typical store-bought seed mixes. Many of the seeds in this blend have been hand-harvested from the wild and, until now, have only been available to professional and commercial buyers. Now you can have a beautiful, unique blend of wildflowers that will offer a sense of natural wildflower beauty and locally adapted native plant authenticity in your landscape.

This blend has been a real favorite for sprucing up the color in areas such as:

Open fields

Cabin sites

Next to walk-ways

Flower gardens

Window boxes

Hillsides and other sloped areas

Any area with partial to full sun and available moisture (rainfall or irrigation).

This wildflower blend contains no grasses and no fillers. We pride ourselves on our professional-grade wildflower seeds. Many of our customers may want to partner this blend with a low-growing grass. In these circumstances we recommend sheep fescue. Sheep fescue is a low-growing grass that establishes quickly, helping fill in gaps between wildflowers and creating a meadow-like look. Because it's a short growing bunchgrass, it won’t hide the beauty of the wildflowers. Sheep fescue is a great compliment to this wildflower blend. We recommend buying about a half pound of sheep fescue for every 2000 sq.ft (1 lb.) of wildflower mix. This amount may be increased or decreased depending on your desired ratio of wildflowers to grass.
